‘MonaLisa Touch’ laser makes its debut with Burbank’s Dr. Rabin

Menopausal changes can affect your quality of life in unexpected ways. There is now an alternative therapy that promotes a return to vaginal health for the millions of women who cannot (or choose not to) use hormone therapy. This revolutionary laser procedure can also help the 25 percent of women who do use hormones yet still find their problems unresolved.

When estrogen levels decline after menopause vaginal atrophy occurs and it does not get better with time. Dryness, itching, pain, and the loss of elasticity characterize vaginal atrophy. These symptoms can affect your ability to sit, exercise, travel and can make intercourse difficult, if not impossible.

According to Burbank gynecologist Dr. Steven Rabin, “You don’t need to accept these changes as an inevitable part of your life. There is no good reason to suffer from one of the most troubling and persistent menopausal symptoms.” Yet many women still suffer in silence.

Dr. Rabin’s 22 years of experience allows him to practice his love of “detective work” while focusing on the hormonal, structural and sexual aspects of gynecology.

Dr. Rabin’s expertise in gynecology allows him to practice his love of “detective work” while focusing on the whole woman. This is especially good news for those with a diagnosis of breast cancer, as hormones may not be an option. These cancer survivors have been left with no real solutions until now.

MonaLisa Touch is a safe FDA-approved procedure using fractional CO2 laser therapy to revitalize the vaginal tissue restoring it to a pre-menopausal state. This new in-office treatment provides significant lasting relief without anesthesia, medications, hormones, or side effects. “The actual treatment is virtually painless, takes only minutes to perform, and you can go home right afterwards,” says Rabin.

Dr. Rabin was one of the first US gynecologists to offer this treatment, and he now trains other physicians in the safe use of this technology.

This game-changing procedure’s safety and effectiveness are well documented. “In the research studies, they did before and after tissue biopsies the dramatic improvement demonstrates scientific proof that this is real,” explains Dr. Rabin. “What previously looked like paper-thin tissue is transformed into the healthy tissue you’d expect to see in a 30 year-old woman.” After the first of their three treatments, Dr. Rabin’s patients are already experiencing life-changing results.

Men can experience sexual function and health into their 80s and 90s with a little blue pill, and now women can enjoy similar benefits with a five-minute laser therapy.

Schedule a visit to see Dr. Rabin and find out if you are a candidate. He will personally work with you to help you make well-informed choices and feel vibrant and comfortable during this time of life.
